Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2016-04-04 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20160404 A simplified plain text version is available below. W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- W3Cx and Intel open HTML5 Introduction MOOC course 4 April 2016 <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5333> W3C is pleased to launch today a new course: HTML5 Introduction. Taught by Intel and W3C experts, this course presents the basic building blocks of Web design and style, using basics of HTML5 and a few CSS features. We encourage future Web developers to enroll soon to learn how to build Web sites that look great. This introductory 6-week course nicely completes the “Learn HTML5 from W3C” XSeries group of three courses – all are open for registration. <https://www.edx.org/course/html5-introduction-w3cx-html5-0x> <https://www.edx.org/course/html5-introduction-w3cx-html5-0x> <https://www.edx.org/xseries/html5-w3c> WebCrypto Key Discovery Note Published 29 March 2016 <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5330> The Web Cryptography Working Group has published a Group Note of "WebCrypto Key Discovery." This note describes a JavaScript API for discovering named, origin-specific pre-provisioned cryptographic keys for use with the Web Cryptography API. Pre-provisioned keys are keys which have been made available to the UA by means other than the generation, derivation, importation and unwrapping functions of the Web Cryptography API. Origin-specific keys are keys that are available only to a specified origin. Named keys are identified by a name assumed to be known to the origin in question and provisioned with the key itself. This note concerns only keys which have all three of these properties. <https://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/> <https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-webcrypto-key-discovery-20160329/ > Call for Review: Battery Status API Proposed Recommendation Published 29 March 2016 <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5328> The Device APIs Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "Battery Status API." The Battery Status API specification defines a means for web developers to programmatically determine the battery status of the hosting device. Without knowing the battery status of a device, a web developer must design the web application with an assumption of sufficient battery level for the task at hand. This means the battery of a device may exhaust faster than desired because web developers are unable to make decisions based on the battery status. This specification defines an API that provides information about the battery status of the hosting device. Comments are welcome through 29 April. <https://www.w3.org/2009/dap/> <https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/PR-battery-status-20160329/> More news: <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/> Workshops W3C Blog * W3C Highlights and Advisory Committee meeting <https://www.w3.org/blog/2016/03/w3c-highlights-and-advisory-c ommittee-meeting/> 31 March 2016 by Jeff Jaffe <http://www.w3.org/People/Jeff/> Upcoming Talks * 2016-04-07 (7 APR) Portable Web Publications <https://www.w3.org/2016/Talks/EPUBSummit-IH/> by Ivan Herman EPUB Summit <http://edrlab.org/edrlab/index.php/epub-summit/> Bordeaux, France * 2016-04-12 (12 APR) The Language User Interface to the Internet of Things: Tools, Standards and Resources by Deborah Dahl Mobile Voice Conference <http://mobilevoiceconference.com/index> San Jose, USA * 2016-04-13 (13 APR) Portable Web Publications: Technology Challenges <https://www.w3.org/2016/Talks/W3CTrack-IH/> by Ivan Herman W3C Track at the WWW2016 Conference <https://www.w3.org/2016/04/w3c-track> Montréal, Canada * 2016-04-15 (15 APR) The Right Tool for the Job: Traditional Standards, Open Source, and Hybridization panel features Wendy Seltzer ANSI Open Source, Open Standards <http://publicaa.ansi.org/sites/apdl/Documents/Meetings%20and% 20Events/OSS_2016/Agenda-ANSI-OSSconference-041516.pdf> Washington, DC, USA * 2016-05-05 (5 MAY) HTML5 <http://www.cwi.nl/~steven/Talks/2016/05-05-html5/> keynote by Steven Pemberton J.Boye Philadelphia 16 <http://philadelphia16.jboye.com/> Philadelphia, USA * 2016-05-09 (9 MAY) Catching Up with Accessibility: Beginner' Basics by Shawn Henry AccessU <http://www.knowbility.org/v/john-slatin-accessu/> Austin, TX, USA * 2016-05-09 (9 MAY) Easy Checks for Web Accessibility: Get the Gist (No Experience Necessary) by Shawn Henry AccessU <http://www.knowbility.org/v/john-slatin-accessu/> Austin, TX, USA * 2016-05-09 (9 MAY) The WAI to Web Accessibility: An Interactive Tour Through Resources form the W3C Web Accessibility AccessU <http://www.knowbility.org/v/john-slatin-accessu/> Austin, TX, USA * 2016-05-19 (19 MAY) Securing the open web platform by Wendy Seltzer OSCON <http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/open-source-us/public/sc hedule/detail/49144> Austin, TX, USA * 2016-06-17 (17 JUN) The evolution of CSS 4 Color by Chris Lilley CSS Day <http://cssday.nl/2016> Amsterdam, The Netherlands * 2016-08-26 (26 AUG) WebFonts: Level Up! by Chris Lilley BrazilJS 2016 <https://braziljs.org/conf?lang=en> Porto Alegre, Brazil W3C Membership Learn more about the benefits of W3C Membership.
